More Road Show

The third installment of the Freaks Road Show is now on YouTube! This time, Shelby and I are enjoying the sun in Ft. Lauderdale and Hollywood, FL! Journey inside our hotel room, hang out with us at the train station, watch some guy get arrested, join us for panini on the boardwalk, and venture into a kick-ass kava bar!

Home Sweet Home?

Everybody sing-a-long!

Home, home in Detroit
Where the Wings and the Tigers play
Where seldom is heard
An encouraging word
And the skies are grey all day!

Okay, enough of that. If you didn't gather from that little ditty, Shelby and I are home from vacation (early, I might add), and now we've got fun things to share! But first, some serious business.

I want to make the Freaks of Suburbia more than just a hole in the road (see what I did there?, and I feel like the blog and the YouTube aren't enough. We've been checking our stats, and we know that readers exist out there, but where are you all? We started out this thing to chronicle the shenanigans we pull in our vile town, but it became so much more. We want it to be more interactive, because we know that there are other Freaks out there who are unhappy with their surroundings, situations, and the mainstream culture that tries to suck us in.

On that note, we've taken one more step to put ourselves further into Interweb Land: I set up a joint Twitter account that all of us will be using to update, formulate, tease, and spew randomness/wisdom/comedy to all of you. Please, if you have a Twitter, follow us @FoSTwits. I promise we won't disappoint.

Shelby and I have also been tossing about ideas like Formspring for Q and A sessions, interviews, and a video tour of Suburbia. I've also been thinking about a Facebook page, and a tumblr link-up. Let us know what you guys want to see the Freaks expand to in the future by leaving a comment here or on our YouTube, or you can tweet reply us @FoSTwits (make sure you tag #future). You can even e-mail the Freaks directly at antersmunter@gmail.com, though that might have a more prolonged response time. We also have a VYou account, so you can send questions/comments/concerns to us, and hopefully we'll figure out how to respond in a timely fashion.

Now for the fun part: Shelby and I did a video series for our vacation. Parts 1 and 2 are up now for your viewing pleasure on the Freaks of Suburbia YouTube channel. Here are the links:
Part 1
Part 2

Enjoy, and thanks for enduring my serious business rant. Please please PLEASE leave feedback through one of our various accounts!

From Florida With Love

As you may know, Kari and I have taken a little break from Freaking up Brighton. And, if you didn't know, well now you do.

As you can tell from the title of this post, we went to Florida, and well, if you couldn't tell, then you need some help. Or you just need to learn how to read.

I got the best footage of some guy getting arrested on the Tri Rails, and I might try to make it into a Dubstep, though I don't see it happening. Maybe though.

Time for pictures from our trip.









That's all I feel like posting for now, because I'm feeling a bit lazy today. And that's the vampire cat's piano pjams.
